As far as the NFL Players Association is concerned, changes to the league's concussion protocols cannot come soon enough.
The NFLPA called on the league to put the change into effect in time for this weekend's games:
Our union has agreed to change the concussion protocols to protect players from returning to play in the case of any similar incident to what we saw on September 25. We would like these changes to go into effect before this weekend's games to immediately protect the players and hope the NFL accepts the change before then as well.
The Dolphins' handling of Tagovailoa has come under high scrutiny since he returned in Game 3, with the NFLPA announcing it would investigate the process the same night. Raised eyebrows turned into expressions of horror in the Dolphins' next game when Tagovailoa sustained a serious concussion from his head slamming into the ground, prompting a full re-examination of how the NFL handles head injuries.
